10:31 am
to later on in the show. everyone is welcome to another fun filled edition of your own max i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what we've got in store for you today. from that came to the plate i know where your king crab comes from. and why this artist chooses to paint in the still of the night. we kicked off today's show in the snow and on the slopes of switzerland now skiing is a fun and exciting winter sport but it takes its toll on nature trees are cut down to make way for lifts and trails increasing the risk of avalanches more and more operators will lie on artificial snow which uses up tons of water and energy well to reduce the impact of the damage to the environment so resorts are taking action but the question remains can skiing ever become environmentally friendly we visited
10:32 am
the resort of lax to find out. perched high in one of europe's largest ski areas is switzerland's locks region a prime winter sports destination it's set to become the 1st energy self-sufficient carbon neutral winter resorts in the alps with the help of g.p.s. snow cannons use less water and energy and the snow groomers have hybrid drives. we find it very important that we take care of your farm as well because we want our grandchildren to be able to ski here too and of course use the action is true too don't destroy the planet or to not destroy paradise my goodness we're going to try and turn see how we live what we do and if lux's doing taking some steps to do that that's great but not everybody sees things quite as optimistically cover of those or of the international commission for the protection of the alps takes a more critical view of the locks initiative.
10:33 am
that the constitution is rain soaked artificial snow really what people are looking for up here above 1100 meters winter sports and all the infrastructure that comes along with them plus the noise and the emissions they have an effect on the countryside and in addition to the enormous power consumption there are other factors that harm nature and biodiversity and then up destroying what people come to the alps for in the 1st place. nature scenery and relaxation. and sustainable relaxation is the business of hotel buildings in locks that were made from local materials and designed to be energy efficient. the writers hotel was conceived to in part to escape a holistic consciousness minimalistic interiors are meant to reject a throw away mentality. of us with your example here we have broken glass those chairs from their very sustainable they'll never lose their value because
10:34 am
they never break if they do we can get the parts to fix them. is furnished with vintage pieces and the restaurant only offers vegetarian dishes. birching or cuts back on c o 2 by cooking with feel like tricity supplied to the hotel by hydro electric and solar power plants. even so barbara voser isn't impressed. to death given to people spend thousands of francs for this i think that i think the most important thing is to respect your surroundings we have to preserve our bond with the nature we have here to see it an experience. come. to know it is in the soft valley about 30 kilometers from locks. hamlet with barely $100.00 inhabitants simple guest rooms to tourists. the toll lift is powered with solar energy. in the show for gregor is one of 10 as residents he's
10:35 am
committed to developing low impact tourism. and yes this is turn a solar lift the 1st in the world solar power is pulling us up the mountain or we're as authentic as we can manage so. what we offer is what we have here and the way we live year round. that. most of the tourists who come to tend their arrive by bus rather than by car that helps cut down their carbon footprint but not all skiers can go to small resorts like tennis the big winter sports clubs have to take action to. just one for so they can improve on what's already there with small initiatives knox might set an example and in that way contribute if even a little to more sustainability. of course it's all for show and nowadays sustainability has become
10:36 am
a lifestyle choice and businesses cater to their guests needs to prevent we're already thinking about the youngest generation the protesters and such eventually they'll come up here for vacation. to fit in car. skiing with a clear conscience lux's doing its part to keep environmentally aware skiers on the slopes. moving on now from the slopes to spiky long legs king crabs with their claws that look like scissors don't look like much of a delicacy but they're tender white meat is relished in all corners of the world but do you know where your red king crab is from all things to an innovative tracking system customers can now not only enjoy their crab meat they can also learn all about their dinners origins. the norwegian king crab is a prized delicacy all over the world but stations long spindly legs are full of
10:37 am
tender juicy me london based restaurant specializes in their preparations head chef phil campbell works by the principle of less is more. as we spend so much fun sourcing our products we just like to allow the crowd that can crowd to do all of the talk and we don't want to mess around with it garner shared we don't want to serve it with anything with the exception of just a little bit. of garlic and lemon butter and this just helps to give a bit of acidity and earthiness which compliments the crowd very nicely. with the help of a q.r. code each king crab served here can be sourced back right to where it was hauled up from the depths. so it's really interesting they can think you are because it ends up being that really
10:38 am
where the rabbits run the day and it was there for the patient it was mission at hand and one of the mildest in the fishermen admitted it may simply visualize kind of an ocean near the north pole with a problem many fish there and it really gave a story to the map that were easy 1000 people. taking crabs are caught in the waters off northern norway from the fishing village to gunnison around 500 kilometers north of the arctic circle they're shipped all over the world. here the freshly caught crabs are tagged in kept in huge tanks until they're ready for shipping we treat groves. very good here like a 5 star hotel when the cops come here they don't but they don't come 1st they get relaxed the c.m. he said don't sit here they are getting the. good quality water inside and which example wants twice every day to make sure the. they have everything all the news so they can be fresh i live
10:39 am
a good quality. dick posts crap feasts for tourists he catches the dinner himself in special crab traps using fresh fish meat as paint . how goes it either your crabs we catch range between $3.00 and $3.00 and a half kilograms so if you've got $200.00 of them you can just imagine how heavy that is the in the bathroom and they take up lots of space because they're so big it's not so much their weight as their huge water resistance that we have to overcome on the. one king crab can weigh up to 17 kilos with a leg span of up to one metre 18. kristie ations originated from the bering sea off russia's come check out peninsula in the 1960 s. russian scientists introduced them to the barents sea to service a protein rich food source for the locals and an absence of any natural enemies the
10:40 am
crab spread as far as norway there they became something of a tourist attraction. when the furious are frozen over the crab fishers drill holes into the ice to lay their traps the freshly caught crabs are then cooked for 10 to 15 minutes in salty water at 60 degrees celsius and served with melted butter or cocktail sauce. and you see. this rather see. your thing as you. know your father was. in london to dine you said developed a taste for this fine delicacy and the tracking option keeps it all a modern flair haven't transparency the food is so good because the thing is as humans we become so disassociated with the food now we get to go supermarket you
10:41 am
know we pull out whatever we go yeah ok this we can actually see the full journey it's important for me i want to know where my food has come from and how it got here you know i do i want to have a greater depth and reverence for the whole process from norway spar north to the gourmet tables around the world the king crab the color merry tale worth telling. next we head back to the snow. this time for a bit of an adventure your max reporter max merrill took on a sledding challenge in austria and now it seems as sledding is becoming a popular alternative to skiing in some winter resorts so max decided to take this past time to another level by entering a race and he shows us that this kind of sledding is anything but child's play. i mean 14 kilometers it's one of the longest sled runs in the world and posts are
10:42 am
quite a unique race my mission is always is to take part even though i'm a complete no. office. anyone can enter but the event attracts the best toboggan ists we face off on an impressive pieced everyone makes it down sooner or later it's just a question of how and when growing up my favorite winter activity was going to organising but anyone who thinks it's all child's play but never been to this race . takes place in the austrian town of but i'm bad or rather than the village club and mountain i came a day early to get in an afternoon test run i've even hired a sled unlike skiing there is no special training but i'm still not left to my own devices cole is a passionate toboggan asst and a leading authority when it comes to sled runs. this wouldn't get going on has
10:43 am
existed for a long while but tell me exactly how did this tradition start as an ox in the well the 1st sled race was held in davos around 1889 and since then the classic davos lead has been developed into a more flexible one with movable runners that makes it more of a den amec piece of sports equipment and it's more fun to ride. accompanies me down the now dock pieced luckily this is the world's longest lived sled run. after a good night's sleep i'm up to register for the race and get ready. is also taking pass and certainly more confident than i am and it was a cold night which means the piece of leap very slick what sort of speed in kilometers per hour come i get about 60 or 70 in the quickest sections of could.
10:44 am
pass seriously fast. i've got a pretty good view from up here and it seems daunting. but it seems like i'm the only person worried the other participants young and old alike are all looking forward to the breakneck speeds. that you guys came as a local i was basically born on a sled that. you can't be the notice for me it is the best when a new earth or better you bet the world's best best ever let's just break if you get too fast. i get a quick crash course on how to brake and steer i'm going to flop brakes with your feet on the ground on to steer you push the runner with your foot on the go all the inner steel cable and lean into the curb and you can push. and off we go
10:45 am
every 30 seconds the next competitor takes off. up to 100 people are racing against the clock. to conditions today are great merely a bump in sight and i'm starting to pick up some real pace much sooner than i thought. i can break and i'm slowly starting to trust my steering skills. well that was amazing sometimes it was a little bit like riding a wild animal sometimes a bit like driving a speeding car without any brakes i did get used to it a little bit before by the end and i feel really good now. in the end pretty much everyone was faster than a winner needed just 14 minutes for 14 kilometers my time was about double that but i've already set my sights on my next winter adventure. i
10:46 am
wanted to see my ex-wife. you can see more of his adventure on. our you tube channel. the source of light is always important when it comes to painting but what happens when an artist chooses to paint in the dark german painter. heads out in nature to as she puts it see the unseen well even in the dead of night she still manages to bring nothingness to life in the landscape around her or we went along to see the results. through the night and outdoors. equipped only with a gas lamp a compass and a paints and brushes she seeks out isolated spots where she can paint the night sky . while most people lie snug of their beds she gets to work sometimes 3 or 4
10:47 am
nights a week the circumstances allow. the thought with off their fall on my list i often ask myself why do i paint the night. but it's simply a realm of experience that daytime can't offer all the things i see in daylight or just so much distraction. and that night to see more surfaces than textures i see more nothing than anything. it. is the feeling that mists it's a fear and so i have the freedom to interpret it any way i want and i ended up at the subject she's painting this particular night as the vast complex of the law in a works there leipsic with all its refineries and chemical plants. why not join is just so extremely illuminated. it's lit up like
10:48 am
a festival in the test benoist on. not many places are truly dark at night since the introduction of electric lighting cities and industrial areas are as bright as day even in the dead of night or. this light pollution or light smog the strips are sleep and the saurians many nighttime creatures. walk on me violent i feel ambivalent about light smog because from an artistic perspective i find it interesting and attractive. but from the standpoint of reason of course i know it's a disaster of course. the buildings of a former cotton mill in leipzig provide space for artists like the international acclaimed painter neo. borg also has her studio here she generally doesn't show up until the afternoon she sleeps through most mornings and often will make it to bed before 4 am the next day. the works that take shape overnight in the field
10:49 am
get their finishing touches here. and thanks when i start out i think this is crazy what am i doing this is absurd. but when i'm on site i forget about all the effort and i become part of the night. and then. i'm absolutely fascinated by how the night swallows everything up looked on and suddenly makes the 10 people become intangible. when silca 1st started painting the night 10 years ago she was trying to find out how to perceive the surroundings. later she better own lightning books and paid the night sky in various places from portugal in the south of europe to denmark in the north . with dark ties in with a long tradition in the arts. the march to her foot museum in
10:50 am
western germany is holding an exhibition titled in the spotlight of the night life in the blue it looks at how various artists interpret night and how electric lights has transformed the dark. silk a super bowls painting hell are brights is the main attraction which shows the lights of a sprawling city from a bird's eye view. she worked on the massive 8 by 3 meter 60 painting. for 3 years for once entirely inner studio. and the normal shrewd it's a huge surprise to me i've only seen it in my studio and throughout the process of creating it complex i didn't get it so the now to see it in a different context next to works of other artists is fantastic on. board can't even imagine painting anything but the night she'd like to put the northern lights

over iceland to encompass. the luminous and seeds off in the knees you are the darkest nights of africa of the bright star the skies over the us a common desert in south america. to paint the many faces of darkness you'd need more than one lifetime she says. and finally we are up to a restaurant in barcelona that offers an out of this world experience the off new rises above the city like a spaceship that's landed on the edge of town now the restaurant leaves no stone unturned to offer its guests a night of surprises that appeal to all the census. c it's not an opera house it's a restaurant. and it doesn't just serve food each course is performed whether asian green curry with king prawns and see your chins or breast of lamb on
